I have just done a hard apple cider with apple juice and champagne yeast and it turned out wonderful. I want to go berry picking, such as for blackberries as they are prolific where I live, and ferment them into a drink.
I am unsure, however, about the methanol by-product that can come as a result of fermenting fruits high in pectins.
Would it be safe to ferment blackberries? i.e. make an alcoholic blackcurrant drink?
If anyone can point to me a thread or internet site that has a list of safe fruits to ferment, I would be most grateful. Also, if anyone has some successful ideas to put forward, I would love to hear.
Cheers
